Want to go green?
Reduce
Seek out used materials before purchasing new ones. Consider alternate options for your driveway or garden paths. Gravel or recycled woods chipping provide a similar function to concrete and are better for drainage.
Reuse
Rock and brick can be great for landscaping uses like creating flowerpot stands or to a decorative border around a raised flowerbed. If your unwanted china, ceramics, and porcelain are still in good condition, give them to a local thrift store.
